To lose weight our body needs to burn more calories then we burn. It is possible to burn 500 calories in a day which will help you to lose 1 pound in a week!
Different ways to burn 500 calories-
- Walk at an incline of about 2 for 1 hour. Walk at a faster pace and swing your arms, it should be a little more difficult to hold a conversation.
- Pull a sport like basketball (full court) for around an hour, not only will you burn 500 calories but it will help your body tone up.
- Mow the lawn with a push mower for 30 minutes and then clean the house for 20 minutes, follow it up by playing tag or chase with your kids for 10 minutes.
- Go on the elliptical at a decent pace for 70 minutes. Don’t pay attention to the calories on the machine, they are usually low.
- Do an hour of yoga or pilates and walk 2 miles briskly. This will burn 500 calories as well as work on your flexibility and make you feel very healthy.
- Swimming at a moderate speed for an hour burns 500 calories.
Remember you need to burn a deficit to lose weight. You cannot eat anymore calories then usually to expect to lose weight.
